there is water competition lower formerly
than the rates for shorter distancey, have
been advanced ftty pOr cent or more. Tho

THE LATE ELECTION
IN THE COUNTY OF JEFFEnsoN.
How tho Result Ia Viewed by n Republican.
He Docs Not See Wherein Lucas has
Reason to Look upon 1t ms n vindica.
tion-What might have Occurred



WASHINGTON, D. O., April 6.-Ex.Post.
master Leisenring, Of Charlestown, JstIsr.
son county, is in the city to-day. He says
Republicans OF the county have every
reason to tepl encouraged and to congratu.
late themselves upon the result Of the
election there yesterday. He said: 1.-THE
official returns will show tho Democratic
majority to be about four hundred over
the Republicans. Last fall the majority
was ], ,2a2. This gain is in the face OF tho
fact that the Republicans had but two
working days in which to make thoir can.
yasa, while the Democrats made a thor.
ough and aggressive campaign for a week,
Mr.. Lucas and lieutenants holding meet.
inga In all parts OF the county. Senator
Lucas candidate had considerable tinau.
cial backing and much money waa set
atloat hy. them, while the Republicans
were badly organized and did not have a
dollar ior campaign expenses.
"The total Democrat vote In Jefferson Ia
about 1900 and by tho greatest effort and
free use oil Doodle they could only mus.
ter l,3OO yesterday, showing that nearly q
thousand votera Of the party were unwill-
lng TO support the Lucas candidate. p. A
few Camden Democrats voted the Repub.
lican ticket Had there been full Ro.
publican vote Mr.. HiSinbo.ham would
have been elected. AS il WAS there was a
larger proportion Of the Republican votes
not polled than the Democratic. Owing
to lack OF funds, organization and time to
canvass the county the Republican vote
was oil courae, light. Taken altogether
the election was Republican victory and
tho Camden men claim that Mr.. Lucas
may. see in 1t tanything but vindication
OF his course in the Legislature. Many
pronounced Camden men supported the
Democratic nominee. Had they voted
for our man as they should have done, we
would have won.
THE story that the nomination OF Hig.
glnDothnm was a Camden job is lio.
We nominated him nt time when we
thought the Camden mon would have a
man of their own. Our party feels en-.
couteSed by tho result. The Democrats
OF Jefferson county are badly domoralzed
and they never will recover. The two
factions are about even in number, and 30
wide are their differences ,ha. their use.
tuiness to the Democratic party in the
State Is at an end. Next year We will
carry tho county. Lucas and his free
trade and anti.bellum Bourbon ideas will
do it for u.s."

SECOND COMPTROLLER MAYNARD
And Secretary Eidicott nre Enjoying n Lit.
tie War OF Their 0wn-rhe Comptroller
Reads the lslOt Act 10 u Mild Form,
Tarlfl In the south-Nows Notes. rs

WASHINGTON, D. G., April 0.-The Ere.
ming Star tonight Gays: There have been
numerous points Of controversy between
Second Comptroller Maynard and secic.
tary Endicott. The secretary.of War haa
not in oil cases been willing to accept the
decisions Of the Second Comptroller, and
has tried on several occasions to have
them reversed or sverrulsd in some way.
There hss beeu couilict OF authority and
Judge Maynard has held the key to tho
situation. Two orthree months ago MIR.
Endicott wrote a letter to the Second
Comptroller in relation to the accouuts Of
Surgeon Billings, Col. Rsy and Capt.
Wheeler, for mileage whilO journeying
abroad, which had been disallowed, re.
opened by req1eOt OF tho Secretary Of
War, and again ,disalloved, and, also to
certain accounts Of Capt. J.. b. Rawles,
Majors Smith, fuckers and others. In
the letter Mr.. EndiCott announced that
he intended to submit the case to the
Court Of Claims under tho provisions Of
section 2 OF the act Of Mrrch 3, 1883, which
permits matters contro3erted in the Exc.
cutivo departments to bo sent TO the
Court OF Claims. ~
Yesterday, Just before retiring from the
Office Of Second Comptroller Judge May
nard wrote sharp reply to the Secretary
Of War. He said that the casee had all
been settled and tho papers turned over
10 theSecond Auditor, that the re-exami-
nation had resulted in sustaining the de-
cision reached in the fret instance, and
that the matter would not be reopened.
As to the announcement that the Secre-
tary Of War intended to send the csses to
tho Court OF Claims he cs,Is attention to
the fact that the cases are entirely under
the jurisdiction OF the Treasury Depart
ment and cannot DO taken to the Court Of
GLAZING by the head OF any other depart.
meDt. Moreover he reminds Mr. Endicott
that the court could only give On opinion
and not decision in the csse. should the
Secretary OF the Treasury go there.
In conclusion he ssye: "lf the Secretary
Of War bas any doubt with reference to
the correctness of his own views upon any
or all OF the abstract law propounded in
bis letter, the opinion OF the Court Of
Claims thereon might be OF value to him,
but IS thia office hiss no doubt, and, Gs ier
as it can be learned, this department lies

Of Claims csn effect tho pant or control the

THERE is no longer any question OF the

adverse majority is not great, but 1t is de.
ciaive. The propogel amendment was

would hav5 voted foT nigh license and
stringent regulation, but that would not
have been supported by pfohibitionists.
Naturally the strongest opposition to
prohibition manifested itself in the cities,
not only because the saloon interest is
